Ubuntu 14 04 php5 fpm throws unknown instance on service restart

Ubuntu 14 04 php5 fpm throws unknown instance on service restart


After upgrading my Ubuntu server from 12.04 to 14.04 this morning, I tried to restart php5-fpm and got this error:

Unknown job: php5-fpm

It is a Ubuntus bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1272788/

One workaround that works for me is:

Create /etc/init/php5-fpm.override file with the single line "reload signal USR2" in it.
